Ethiopian Seed Partnership plus (ESP+)

About this project

The mission of the Ethiopian Seed Partnership plus (ESP+) is to increase small-scale food producers’ food security, nutrition, and resilience to shocks and stresses by improving access to quality seed of adapted varieties. ESP+ builds upon the Ethiopia-Netherlands Seed Partnership by reaching beyond its original mandate to enable the business of the private sector and enters new areas affected by drought and conflict. Here, we strengthen humanitarian responses to seed insecurity, build capacities in farmer- & community-based seed systems and rehabilitate seed service delivery where it has collapsed. ESP+ aims to deliver farming men and women high quality seed much needed for food security and nutrition, and climate resilience. ESP+ will increase farming households’ crop productivity and diversity, create jobs and increase the area under sustainable agricultural practices.
